ATOM RPG New Year, New Patch

The end-of-year update and announcement from the developers behind the post-apocalyptic ATOM RPG are filled with optimism and high hopes for 2018, a year their game is currently set to release. Here’s what they have to say:

Hello, friends!

This year was crazy! Like honestly, it was! We started and, thanks to you, successfully completed the Kickstarter campaign, released the early access version of the Atom on Steam, met a plethora of new people, received a lot of positive reviews and a lot of constructive criticism! But, most importantly, we worked and worked on the game!

Looking back at the version that we had exactly a year ago… It’s like night and day! The game feels so much more civilised!.. What started a long time ago as an idea and in 2015 as a part time development now looks like an actual game!

2018 is the year that Atom should come out, and we still have a lot to do. Work on the new content update, new patches new features is going on as we speak and won’t stop even after the release!

We wish you a great New Year’s Eve and all the best in the upcoming year! Keep on Truckin’ and keep on rocking! But most importantly, stay safe! 🙂

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!
